No more buckets during rainstorms. No more ceiling stains that reappear every spring. No more wondering if the next nor’easter will turn your living room into a leak zone.
When your skylight replacement is installed correctly the first time, you get a home that stays dry through coastal storms, freeze-thaw cycles, and everything Long Island weather throws at it. You get lower energy bills because modern skylights actually insulate instead of bleeding heat. You get rooms flooded with natural light that makes your space feel bigger and more valuable.
Most importantly, you get to stop thinking about your skylight. It just works. That’s what happens when the installation accounts for Suffolk County’s salt air, heavy snow loads, and temperature swings instead of treating your roof like it’s in Arizona.
We’ve spent more than 10 years replacing skylights in Yaphank and across Suffolk County. We’re not a national franchise following a generic manual. We’re a local crew that knows what happens to flashing in coastal humidity and how ice dams form on Long Island roofs.
Every installation is handled by our own licensed team. No subcontractors. No handoff to whoever’s available that week. We show up, we do the work, and we guarantee it doesn’t leak.
We’ve worked on everything from 1980s ranch homes in Yaphank to newer construction near the water. We know which materials hold up and which ones fail in three years. That’s the difference between a skylight that lasts and one that becomes your problem again next winter.
We start with an inspection of your current skylight and the roof around it. Most leaks aren’t just the skylight itself—they’re failed flashing, cracked seals, or water getting in through gaps that weren’t visible from inside. We figure out what’s actually broken before we quote you.
Once you approve the work, we schedule installation. Most single skylight replacements take four to six hours and get finished in one day. We protect your interior with tarps, remove the old unit, inspect the roof deck for any hidden damage, and install the new Velux skylight with integrated flashing designed for Long Island’s climate.
After installation, we test everything. We check the seals, verify the flashing is locked in, and make sure water drains correctly. Then we clean up and walk you through the warranty. You’re not waiting weeks to see if it leaks—you know it’s done right before we leave.
Ready to get started?
You get complete removal of the old skylight, inspection of the roof deck and surrounding structure, and installation of a new Velux skylight with double-pane insulated glass. We install integrated flashing systems that are built for the unit—not generic metal that gets caulked into place and fails in two years.
Every replacement includes interior protection during the job, debris removal, and a full cleanup when we’re done. You also get our leak-free installation guarantee and the manufacturer’s warranty on the skylight itself, which covers materials for up to 10 years depending on the model.
In Yaphank, where homes were mostly built in the 1980s and 90s, we’re often replacing original skylights that have reached the end of their lifespan. Seals fail, glass cracks, and older units just don’t insulate like modern ones. Replacing them now prevents interior damage and cuts your energy costs—Suffolk County homeowners typically see monthly savings of $10 to $15 on electricity after upgrading to energy-efficient skylights.
Most residential skylight replacements in Yaphank run between $800 and $2,500 including installation. The range depends on skylight size, roof access, and whether you’re replacing a standard fixed unit or upgrading to a venting or solar-powered model.
If we find roof deck damage during removal—which happens sometimes with older leaking skylights—that adds to the cost. We’ll let you know before we proceed with any repairs beyond the original scope. The price includes the Velux skylight, flashing, labor, and cleanup.
Financing options are available if you’d rather spread the cost out. We’ll give you an upfront quote after inspecting your current setup so there’s no guessing.
A single skylight replacement typically takes four to six hours and gets completed in one day. We’re not tearing off half your roof—we’re removing the old unit, prepping the opening, and installing the new skylight with proper flashing.
Weather can affect timing. If it’s actively raining or snowing, we’ll reschedule rather than risk water getting into your home during the swap. Once we start, we work straight through to get your roof sealed up the same day.
If you’re replacing multiple skylights or if we discover structural damage that needs repair, the job might extend into a second day. We’ll tell you upfront if that’s the case based on what we see during the initial inspection.
Not if it’s installed correctly with the right flashing system. Most skylight leaks happen because the flashing wasn’t designed for the unit or wasn’t installed to handle the specific roof pitch and weather conditions. We use Velux skylights with integrated flashing that’s engineered to work together as a sealed system.
Suffolk County gets hit with nor’easters, coastal storms, and freeze-thaw cycles that test every weak point in a roof. That’s why we don’t use generic flashing or rely on caulk to fill gaps. The flashing we install is built into the skylight system and designed to shed water even during heavy rain and snow accumulation.
Every installation comes with our leak-free guarantee. If water gets in because of our work, we come back and fix it at no cost to you. That’s not something you get from a contractor who subcontracts the job out or uses shortcuts to save time.
Yes, but only when conditions are safe. We can replace skylights in cold weather as long as it’s not actively snowing, raining, or icing. The bigger concern is protecting your home while the roof is open—we’re not doing that in the middle of a storm.
Winter installations take a little longer because materials are cold and we have to be more careful with sealing. But if your skylight is leaking now and you can’t wait until spring, we’ll get it done. We just need a weather window that gives us a few hours of dry conditions.
If your skylight is actively leaking during winter weather, we also offer emergency repairs that can temporarily seal the unit until we can schedule a full replacement. That stops the water damage from getting worse while you wait for better installation conditions.
Yes. Older skylights—especially single-pane plastic units from the 80s and 90s—lose a lot of heat in winter and let in a lot of heat in summer. Modern Velux skylights use double-pane insulated glass with low-E coatings that reflect heat instead of transferring it.
According to Department of Energy data, inefficient skylights can increase your heating and cooling costs by up to 40 percent. Replacing them with ENERGY STAR certified units can cut that loss significantly. Most Suffolk County homeowners see monthly savings of $10 to $15 on electricity, which adds up to $120 to $180 per year.
The savings are even higher if you’re replacing multiple skylights or if your current units have failed seals that are letting air leak through. You’ll feel the difference in comfort right away—rooms stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer without cranking the HVAC.
Repairs make sense if the skylight itself is still in good shape and the problem is isolated—like damaged flashing or a small crack in the glass. Replacement makes sense when the unit is old, the seals have failed, or you’ve already repaired it once and it’s leaking again.
If your skylight is more than 15 years old and showing signs of wear, replacement is usually the better investment. Older units don’t insulate well, and even if we stop the current leak, another part will fail soon. You end up paying for multiple repairs when you could have replaced it once and been done.
We’ll tell you honestly which option makes sense after we inspect your skylight. If a repair will actually fix the problem and buy you several more years, we’ll recommend that. If you’re throwing money at a unit that’s at the end of its life, we’ll tell you that too.
